Teaching at Drachenwald Kingdom Uni
2025-09-15 07:40 pmThe other day the Kingdom University team sent out the form for classes at Kingdom University. I am going this year and it's been a while since I taught, so I figured I should come up with something.
I asked on my fb what I could talk about, and offered a Weaver's Meet & Greet, or a Maths of Weaving class. I had some people express an interest in the second so I sent in a proposal. I only applied for 30 minutes. I don't know if I could fill a full hour just talking about the maths of weaving. It is fairly simple maths in the end.
Tonight I started writing on a possible outline as well as a handout collecting all the terms. In my head I thought I could structure it from an actual example - go from being inspired by an extant textile to working out all the maths. The only danger here is that I can see myself going off on all sorts of tangents.
I am also not so sure how much detail to go into. Do I need to explain the importance of water to sea-faring, or is it safe to assume some level of knowledge. I think it will depend on who shows up on the day. But if you have woven fabric before, I'm not sure this class would be terribly interesting, so I'm aiming for less knowledge and more terms explained than not, I think.
